Second festivalgoer dies at Burning Man
A second Burning Man festival attendee has died, the festival said Saturday.
Craigh Mann, 60, was found dead in his camp in Black Rock City, Nevada, on Saturday at 3 p.m., the festival said. No cause of death was disclosed.
“Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the participant’s family, friends, campmates, and all those affected by this loss,” the festival said in a statement.
The Pershing County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
This marks the second death at the annual psychedelic, music and art festival in the Nevada desert that draws a crowd of about 70,000.
Earlier this week, the festival said an attendee, described as man in his mid-50s, died after suffering a medical emergency.
He “immediately received lifesaving measures, and was transported to the onsite center for emergency care where he was pronounced deceased,” the festival said. His name was not disclosed pending family notification.
The festival started Aug. 30 and is scheduled through Sept. 7.
